Since lemon oil is very volatile, the bottle should be tightly closed, and when used, several standard dosages should be increased.

• To improve the performance of cosmetics, for every 5 grams of your finished composition, add 3 drops of this ester.

Important: essential oils are highly concentrated vegetable essences, so they require dilution with carrier vegetable oils.
